Customers are saying

Customers find value in the sound quality and ease of use of the Universal Rear Speakers. Many appreciate the affordable price and compact size, which is suitable for smaller rooms. However, some customers express disappointment with the wired connection, limited compatibility with certain systems, and lack of bass. The setup process is generally considered straightforward.

    Below average and disturbing cracking noise

    I ordered these to bump up my 3.1 soundbar to a 5.1 setup and the initial unit didn't turn ON while I asked for replacement it worked initially and then I started hearing popping and cracking noises frequently and I have to keep these turned OFF most of the time . Very disturbing and feels like money wasted.

    Needs 3 optical inputs

    This is not a good buy. Each transmitter needs an optical connection to both the TV and the Soundbar. That means both your TV and your soundbar need three optical inputs. While you might try a three way splitter for the TV the same cannot work at the soundbar

    No matter what I tried, there was always a delay. Using the delay option, whether more or less, did not work. It would sound great at first but 15-20 minutes into a show it would be horrific. Definitely would not recommend this.

    These don't sync up. It's just an echo effect. There's a way to try to fine tune that but after a week of trying, I gave up
